"In 1993, the Kansas Legislature established the Kansas Highway Patrol Motor Vehicle Fund to help the Patrol purchase replacement vehicles for its fleet. Today, the fund's solvency depends on revenues collected from a portion of Kansas title fees and proceeds from the sale of retired KHP vehicles. Since the fund's inception, the Kansas Highway Patrol has provided agencies with high-quality, low-mileage patrol vehicles at a fraction of the cost of a new vehicle. Maintenance logs and a detailed service and inspection report are provided with each car, and maintenance and service schedules follow the manufacturer's warranty guidelines. All vehicles come fully serviced and professionally detailed. Light bars and push bumpers are available. All Ford Crown Victorias are well-equipped Model 71 Police Interceptors with less than 50,000 miles. Issuing each officer his or her own vehicle is an excellent way to maximize the life of patrol vehicles. Let our staff show you how easily your agency can purchase high quality, low-mileage patrol vehicles."
They buy cars use them for a bit, then resell them, so they can provide cheap cars to underfunded agencies. The average price for a CVPI used with under 50k miles on it is about 12k with a slimlighter on the dash and a Tam85 tir6 arrow stick on the rear. We bought one about a year ago and its a great car, and was practically new when we got it!
